“The King” may be excited to visit “The Land Of The Rising Sun,” but a tough challenge awaits him.

After competing in the bantamweight division for his last few bouts, Leone will return to his flyweight stomping grounds. Coincidentally, the Bali-based American started his ONE career in this weight class by defeating Kingad’s teammate, Geje Eustaquio, in May 2013.

Known for his immense grappling, the 29-year-old comes from a collegiate wrestling background and has since equipped himself with a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

“What I’m looking at and reviewing is his wrestling, because that’s his background. I think that will be his area of strength,” Kingad offers.

“I think his weakness is his striking. I’m looking to take the bout there, as I’m aiming to knock him out.”

“It’s difficult to choose because both are very skilled competitors, and they are both wrestlers,” he says. “If I had to choose, I think Reece will advance because he has more advanced grappling than Kairat.”

On the opposite side of the bracket, Kingad’s predictions leaned towards familiarity.

“I already beat Yuya, so of course I would hope that Yuya beats Demetrious. I’m certain that Yuya will knock out Demetrious,” the Filipino says.

“Also, I would like Wada to win. I am already familiar with how he moves, so it might be easier to study him further and prepare if ever we meet later.

“It’s really difficult to make a choice because everyone in the tournament is extremely talented. Personally, I think Yuya would advance in a match-up [with Wada]. If I am able to beat the guys in my bracket, I am praying that I would face Yuya in the finals.”
